Jonger Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 90 degrees at LAF. The 90-less streak ends at 358 days. Same here... I'm at 89.8F. Officially it will go down as 90, but lets see if my city can technically avoid it. My closest climate station (KLAN) only maxed at 87, their streak is alive.

nwburbschaser Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 The wind here in Rolling Meadows just knocked over a port a pottie, the larger handicap type. That was a really strong gust. Holy crap, my car was just rocking. These winds are insane. I actually ducked down in my car because stuff was flying off the trees at the park I stopped at. That was bordering on the inflow winds I got caught in on Mother's Day near Cordova. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago Storm Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Shelf cloud was meh, but a quality storm. Best since summer '12. Gusted up to around 60mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowGoose69 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 2 monster cells W-SW of DET by 60 miles or so, will be interesting to see what happens, prefrontal trof tried to fire just now west of DET and failed miserably, there may still be areas with a weak capping inversion out there although the sounding would suggest there should not be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nwburbschaser Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 The winds ripped apart the backboards on this bball court. Sorry that the pic is sideways, not sure why it uploaded like that from my phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Castaway Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Cell just missed me in Dupage by a couple miles. My friend called me from Schaumburg telling me to get ready. He said the tree limbs were breaking around him. I told him it's getting dark here but we might miss it and we did. It's still dark here. Looks pretty nasty up north.

TimChgo9 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Crazy. Storm missed me by about 1 or 1 1/2 miles. The ragged edge of the storm seemed to be right up along or north of 31st St. Dark skies, some wind, maybe a rain drop or two... but that was it. .

Jonger Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Same here... I'm at 89.8F. Officially it will go down as 90, but lets see if my city can technically avoid it. My closest climate station (KLAN) only maxed at 87, their streak is alive. We also peaked at 89.8℉. Officially Howell hit 90, but we know it technically didn't. Lansing will go the whole year without hitting 90℉. I think it's only the 5th or 6th time that has happened since 1880. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
